3.4 Preparing for installation


Please examine the delivery for transport and packaging damage immediately on receipt. The drive
unit must be examined and may only be installed if no damage is apparent. In particular the radial
seals and the sealing caps must be inspected for damage. Report any damage to the carrier
immediately. Gear units with transport damage must not be commissioned.
All bare metal surfaces and shafts of the gear unit are protected against corrosion with oil, grease or
corrosion protection agents before shipping.
Thoroughly remove all oil, grease or corrosion protection agents and any dirt from the shafts and
flange surfaces before assembly.
In applications where an incorrect rotational direction may result in damage or potential risk, the
correct rotational direction of the output shaft must be established by test running the drive when
uncoupled and guaranteeing such for subsequent operation.
Gears with integrated return stops are marked with arrows on the drive/driven sides. The arrows point
in the rotation direction of the gear unit. When connecting the motor and during motor control, it must
be ensured that the gear unit can only operate in the direction of rotation. (For further explanations see
catalogue G1000 and Works Standard 0-000 40)
Ensure that no aggressive or corrosive substances which attack metal, lubricants or elastomers are
present in the area surrounding the installation site or are subsequently expected during operation.
Gear units with nsd tupH surface treatment must be electrically decoupled by the use of non-
conductive intermediate layers. In case of doubt, please contact Getriebebau NORD and take the
recommended action.
Oil expansion tanks (Option OA) must be fitted in accordance with Works Standard 0-530 04. For gear
units with an M10x1 vent plug, Works Standard 0-521 35 must be also be observed during installation.
Oil level tanks (Option OT) must be fitted in accordance with Works Standard 0-521 30.
If venting of the gear unit is provided, the vent or the pressure vent must be activated before
commissioning. To activate, remove the transport securing device (sealing cord). Position of the vent
screw 7.1 "Versions and maintenance".

3.5 Installing the gear unit

NOTICE!
Damage to the gear unit due to overheating
• For geared motors, check that the cooling air from the motor fan can circulate around the gear unit
without obstruction.

The eyebolts screwed into the gear units must be used during installation. No additional load may be
attached to the gear unit.
If geared motors have an additional eyebolt attached to the motor, this must also be used. Avoid
pulling the eyebolts at an angle. Observe the safety information (please see chapter 1 "Safety
information").
The base and/or flange to which the gear unit is fitted should be vibration-free, torsionally rigid and flat.
The smoothness of the mating surface on the base or flange must be according to tolerance class K
according to DIN ISO 2768-2. All contamination to the bolting surfaces of gear unit and base and/or
flange must be thoroughly removed.
The gear housing must always be earthed. With geared motors, earthing via the motor connection
must be ensured.
The gear unit must be precisely aligned with the drive shaft of the machine in order to prevent
additional forces from being imposed on the gear unit due to distortion.
Welding of the gear unit is prohibited. The gear unit must not be used as the earth connection for
welding work, as this may cause damage to the bearings and gear wheels.
The gear unit must be installed in the correct orientation (please see chapter 7.1 "Versions and
maintenance"). (UNIVERSAL SI and SM gear unit types do not depend on the configuration).
Changes to the installation position after delivery require adjustment of the quantity of oil, and often
other measures such as e.g. the installation of encapsulated roller bearings. Damage may result if
the stated installation position is not observed.
All gear unit feet and/or all flange bolts on each side must be used. Bolts must have a minimum quality
of 8.8. The bolts must be tightened to the correct torques (please see chapter 7.4 "Torque values").
Tension-free bolting must be ensured, particularly for gear units with a foot and flange.
The oil inspection screws, oil drain screws and the vent valves must be accessible.

3.6 Fitting hubs on the gear shafts

NOTICE!
The gear unit may be damaged by axial forces.
• Do not allow any harmful axial forces to act on the gear unit. Do not strike the hub with a hammer.

Drive and driven elements, e.g. coupling and chain-wheel hubs must be mounted onto the drive and
driven shaft of the gear unit using suitable pullers that will not apply damaging axial forces to the gear
unit.

Information
Use the end thread of the shafts for pulling. Fitting can be aided by coating the hub with lubricant or
heating it up to approx. 100 °C beforehand.

Figure 5: Example of a simple pulling device

Drive and driven elements may only subject the drive unit to the maximum radial forces FR and
axial forces FA which are specified in the catalogue. Observe the correct tension, particularly on
belts and chains.
Additional loads due to unbalanced hubs are not permitted.
The transverse force must be applied to the gear unit as closely as possible.

3.7 Fitting push-on gear units

WARNING
When the screw fastenings of the torque arm are removed, the gear unit will rotate around the
output shaft
• Secure the screw fastening against loosening, e.g. with Loctite 242 or a second nut.

NOTICE!
The gear unit may be damaged by axial forces.
The bearings, gear wheels, shafts and housing may be damaged by incorrect fitting.
• Use suitable pulling devices.
• Do not strike the gear unit with a hammer.

Assembly and subsequent dismantling is aided by applying an anti-corrosive lubricant to the shaft
before fitting (e.g. NORD Anti-Corrosion Part No. 089 00099). Excess grease or anti-corrosion agent
may escape after assembly and may drip off. Clean these points on the output shaft after a running-in
time of approx. 24 hours. This escape of grease is not due to a leak in the gear unit.

Figure 7: Applying lubricant to the shaft and the hub

Information
The gear unit can be fitted to shafts with and without a shoulder using the fastening element
(Option B). Tighten the bolt of the fastening element to the correct torque (please see chapter 7.4
"Torque values"). For gear units with option H66, the factory-fitted closing cap must be removed
before assembly.

For push-on gear units with option H66 and fastening element (Option B) the pressed-in closing cap
must be pushed out before fitting the gear unit. The pressed-in closing cap may be destroyed during
dismantling. As standard a second closing cap is supplied as a loose spare part. After fitting the gear
unit, fit the new closing cap as described in Section (please see chapter 3.9 "Fitting the covers").

4. Prior to mounting, grease the solid shaft only in the area which will later come into contact with the
bronze bush in the hollow shaft of the gear unit. Do not grease the bronze bush, in order to prevent
grease penetrating the area around the shrink connection.
5. The hollow shaft of the gear unit must be completely de-greased and completely free of grease.
6. In the area of the shrink connection the solid shaft of the machine must be degreased and
completely free of grease.
7. Insert the solid shaft of the machine into the hollow shaft so as to completely fill the area around
the shrink connection.
8. Position the clamping flange by gently tightening the bolts.
9. Tighten the tensioning bolts successively in a clockwise direction by several turns – not crosswise
– with approx. ¼ rotation per turn. Tighten the bolts with a torque wrench to the torque indicated on
the shrink disc.
10. When the tensioning bolts have been tightened, there must be an even gap between the clamping
flanges. If this is not the case, the gear unit must be dismantled and the shrink disc connection
checked for correct fit.

Assembly procedure to attach a standard motor to the IEC adapter (Option IEC/NEMA adapter)
1. Clean the motor shaft and flange surfaces of the motor and the IEC /NEMA adapter and check for
damage. The mounting dimensions and tolerances of the motor must conform to
DIN EN 50347 / NEMA MG1 Part 4.
2. Push the coupling sleeve onto the motor shaft so that the motor parallel key engages into the
groove in the sleeve on tightening.
3. Tighten the coupling sleeve on the motor shaft in accordance with the motor manufacturer’s
instructions until it touches the collar. With motor sizes 90, 160, 180 and 225, any spacer bushes
must be positioned between the coupling sleeve and the collar. With standard helical gear units,
dimension B between the coupling sleeve and the collar must be observed (see Figure 17). Certain
NEMA adapters require adjustment of the coupling in accordance with the specifications indicated
on the adhesive plate.
4. If the coupling half contains a threaded pin, the coupling must be secured axially on the shaft. The
threaded pin must be coated prior to use with a securing lubricant e. g. Loctite 242, Loxeal 54-03
and tightened to the correct torque (please see chapter 7.4 "Torque values").
5. Sealing of the flange surfaces of the motor and the IEC/NEMA adapter is recommended if the
motor is installed outdoors or in a humid environment. Before the motor is installed, the flange
surfaces must be completely coated with surface sealant Loctite 574 or Loxeal 58-14 so that the
flange seals after mounting.
6. Mount the motor on the IEC/NEMA adapter. Do not forget to fit the gear rim or the splined sleeve
provided (see illustration below).
7. Tighten the bolts of the IEC/NEMA adapter with the correct torque (please see chapter 7.4 "Torque
values").

4.3 Operation with lubricant cooling


Water cooling
The coolant must have a similar thermal capacity as water (specific thermal capacity at 20 °C
c=4.18 kJ/kgK). Industrial water without any air bubbles or sediments is recommended as a coolant.
The hardness of the water must be between 1 dH and 15 dH; the pH value must be between pH 7.4
and pH 9.5. No aggressive liquids may be added to the coolant!
The coolant pressure must not exceed 8 bar. The required quantity of coolant is 10 litres/minute,
and the coolant inlet temperature must not exceed 40 °C; we recommend 10 °C.
We also recommend fitting a pressure reducer or similar at the coolant inlet to avoid damage due to
excessive pressure.
If there is a danger of frost the operator should add a suitable anti-freeze solution to the cooling water.
The temperature of the cooling water and the cooling water flow rate must be supervised and
ensured by the operator.
Air/Oil cooler
The version and all important data for the air/oil cooler can be obtained from Catalogue G1000, or
contact the manufacturer of the cooling unit.

Visual inspection
The gear unit must be checked for leaks. In addition, the gear unit must be inspected for external
damage and cracks in the hoses, hose connections and rubber buffers. Have the gear unit repaired in
case of leaks, e.g. dripping gear oil or cooling water, damage or cracks. Please contact the NORD
service department.

Information
Shaft sealing rings are components with a limited life and are subject to wear and ageing. The service
life of shaft sealing rings depends on various ambient conditions. Temperature, light (especially UV
light), ozone and other gases and liquids affect the ageing process of shaft sealing rings. Some of
these influences may change the physical or chemical properties of the shaft sealing rings and result
in a significant reduction of their service life. Foreign substances (e.g. dust, sludge, sand, metallic
particles) and excess temperature (excessive speed or external heating) accelerate the wear of the
sealing lip. These sealing lips are made of an elastomer material and are lubricated with a special
grease at the factory. This reduces the wear due to their function and ensures a long service life. An
oil film in the region of the rubbing sealing lip is therefore normal and is not due to leakage (please
see chapter 7.6 "Leakage and leak-tightness").

Check for running noises


If the gear unit produces unusual running noises and/or vibrations, this could indicate damage to the
gear unit. In this case the gear should be shut down and a general overhaul carried out.

Check the oil level


Section 7.1 "Versions and maintenance"describes the mounting positions and the corresponding oil
level screws. With double gear units, the oil level must be checked on both units. The pressure vent
must be at the position marked in Section 7.1 "Versions and maintenance".
The oil level does not need to be checked on gear units without oil level screw (please see chapter 7.1
"Versions and maintenance").
Gear unit types that are not supplied full of oil must be filled before the oil level is checked.
Check the oil level with an oil temperature of between 20 °C to 40 °C.

1. The oil level may only be checked when the gear unit is at a standstill and has cooled down. The
gear unit must be secured to prevent accidental activation.
2. The oil level screw corresponding to the actual mounting position must be screwed out(please see
chapter 7.1 "Versions and maintenance").

Information
At the first oil level check a small amount of oil may escape, as the oil level may be above the lower
edge of the oil level hole.

3. Gear units with oil level screw: The correct oil level is at the bottom edge of the oil level hole. If
the oil level is too low, this must be corrected with the appropriate type of oil. Optionally, an oil level
glass is also possible instead of the oil level screw.
4. Gear units with oil tank: Der The oil level must be checked with the aid of the cap screw with
dipstick (G1¼ thread) in the oil tank. The oil level must be between the top and bottom marking
when the dipstick is fully screwed in (see Figure 23). Top up the oil level with the relevant type of oil

B 1000 en-5018 37
Gear units – Operating and Assembly Instructions
as necessary. These gearboxes may only be operated in the mounting position stated in
Section 7.1 "Versions and maintenance".
5. The oil level screw or the cap screw with dipstick and all other loosened screws must be correctly
re-tightened.

Re-greasing
Some gear unit designs (free drive shaft, Option W, agitator designs VL2 and VL3) are equipped with
a re-greasing device.
For agitator versions VL2 and VL3, the vent screw located opposite to the grease nipple must be
unscrewed before re-greasing. Grease should be injected until a quantity of 20 - 25 g escapes from
the vent hole. After this, the vent plug must be reinserted and tightened.
For Option W and some IEC adapters, the outer roller bearing must be re-greased with approx.
20 - 25 g of grease via the grease nipple provided. Remove any excess grease from the adapter.
Recommended grease: Petamo GHY 133N (please see chapter 7.2 "Lubricants")(Klüber Lubrication),
a food compatible grease is possible as an option.

Change the oil


The figures in Section 7.1 "Versions and maintenance"show the oil drain screw, the oil level screw and
the pressure vent screw for various designs.
Procedure:
1. Place a catchment vessel under the oil drain screw or the oil drain tap.
2. Completely remove the oil level screw or screwed sealing plug with dipstick if an oil level tank is
being used and unscrew oil drain screw.
3. Drain all the oil from the gear unit.
4. If the sealing ring of the oil drain screw or oil level screw is damaged in the thread, a new oil level
screw must be used or the thread must be cleaned and coated with securing lubricant, e.g.
Loctite 242, Loxeal 54-03 prior to insertion.
5. Screw the oil drain screw into the hole and tighten to the correct torque (please see chapter 7.4
"Torque values").
6. Using a suitable filling device, refill with oil of the same type through the oil level hole until oil
emerges from the oil level hole. (The oil can also be filled through the pressure vent screw or a
sealing plug located higher than the oil level). If an oil level tank is used, fill the oil through the
upper inlet (thread G1¼) until the oil level is set as described in Section 5.2 "Service and
Maintenance Work".
7. Wait at least 15 minutes, or at least 30 minutes if an oil level tank is used, and then check the oil
level. Proceed as described in Section 5.2 "Service and Maintenance Work".

7.3 Lubricant quantities

Information
After changing the lubricant, and in particular after the initial filling, the oil level may change during the
first few hours of operation, as the oil galleries and the hollow spaces only fill gradually during
operation.
The oil level is still within the permissible tolerance.
If at the express request of the customer, an oil inspection glass is installed at an additional charge,
we recommend that the customer corrects the oil level after an operating period of approx. 2 hours, so
that when the gear unit is at a standstill and has cooled down, the oil level is visible in the inspection
glass. Only then, is it possible to check the oil level by means of the inspection glass.
The filling quantities stated in the following tables are for guidance only. The precise quantities vary
depending on the exact gear ratio. When filling, always observe the oil level screw hole as an
indicator of the precise quantity of oil.

Gear unit types SK 11282, SK 11382, SK 11382.1, SK 12382 and SK 9096.1 are normally supplied
without oil.

Assembling the hose fittings


Oil the thread of the union nut, the cutting ring and the screw neck. Tighten the union nut with the
wrench until the point where the union nut can only be turned with considerably more force. Turn the
union nut of the screw fitting approx. 30° to 60° further but not more than 90°. For this the screw neck
must be held with a wrench. Remove excess oil from the screw fitting

7.6 Leakage and leak-tightness


Gear units are filled with oil or grease to lubricate the moving parts. Seals prevent the escape of
lubricants. A complete seal is technically not possible, as a certain film of moisture, for example on the
radial shaft sealing rings is normal and advantageous for a long-term seal. In the region of vents,
moisture due to oil may be visible due to the escape of oil mist because of the function. In the case of
grease-lubricated labyrinth seals, e.g. Taconite sealing systems, used grease emerges from the
sealing gap due to the principle of operation. This apparent leak is not a fault.
According to the test conditions as per DIN 3761, the leak is determined by the medium which is to be
sealed, which in test bench tests exceeds the function-related moisture in a defined test period and
which results in dripping of the medium which is to be sealed. The measured quantity which is then
collected is designated as leakage.

*) Previous experience has shown that moist or wet radial shaft sealing rings stop leaking later.
Therefore, under no circumstances can replacement be recommended at this stage. The reason for
momentary moisture may be e.g. small particles under the sealing lip.
